How Much Energy Does an Average Wind Turbine Produce?

Wind turbines are an energy generation system that is installed especially in places that receive a lot of wind. They can generate electricity when the wind speed is between 8 and 50 kilometers per hour. Where they are usually installed, the wind speed is in this range 75 percent of the time. But the wind does not blow at a constant speed. Therefore, the amount of energy produced by wind turbines is also very variable. Despite this, the measurements show that; A single wind turbine can meet the annual electricity needs of 350 houses on average. The capacity of modern turbines is between 660 kilowatts and 2.4 and they operate at an average capacity of 30 percent.
